My Favorite Cookbook
Image by Anna L Conti
More-With-Less Cookbook
suggestions by Mennonites on how to eat better and consume less of the world’s limited food resources, Written by Doris Janzen Longacre, ISBN 0836117867
I bought this book in 1977 and have used it ever since. I noticed a few weeks ago that it has been reissued. Just in time – besides the great recipes, it’s a concise and friendly primer on staying healthy with fewer resources. And it’s got a terrific section on equivalents and substitutions – it’s very practical.
Mapleine Dainties cookbook
Image by litlnemo
This cookbook is undated but is probably from the 1900s-1910s (ads in 1907-1914 mention this booklet, and nothing in the contents contradicts this early date). Lots of interesting recipes using Mapleine, from Seattle’s Crescent Manufacturing Company. I will be doing a post about Mapleine on ResurrectedRecipes.com soon.
I should add that there were versions of Mapleine Dainties right up to the 1920s. The design of this one is clearly earlier, though. (There is a later edition with a blue cover and possibly 1920s-style graphics, for example.)

Turkey Patty w/ Corn “Relish”
Image by lynn.gardner
Betty Crocker’s "California-Style Turkey Patties with Corn and Tomato Relish" from Low-Carb Lifestyle Cookbook.
Pretty good! I used whole wheat bread crumbs (gave the patties a freckled look) and seasoned the patties with Penzey’s salt-free Arizona Dreaming instead of salt and pepper.

A 1970’s cookbook published "in solidarity with the Symbionese Liberation Army." Probably the most unusual in my small collection of out-of-print cookbooks. I wrote about it a bit here.

Lentil Soup (Recipe)
Image by Ruthieki
I love this lentil soup. It’s warming and sustaining and delicious on cold days with a grilled-cheese sandwich. It keeps well in the fridge and freezes well, too, so I like to make up a huge pot of it and eat it for a week. This recipe is based on the lentil soup recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook. It’s fat-free and economical to make, as well.
Lentil Soup- Makes about 10 servings.
3 cups lentils (or one bag’s worth)
1/2 cup brown rice
8 cups water
2 tsp salt
8 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups chopped onion (1 big one)
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp oregano
1 can diced tomatoes
fresh ground pepper to taste
red wine vinegar, to drizzle on top
Rinse the lentils well and combine with water and rice in large pot. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, chop veggies and press garlic and add them to the mix. Add the spices and salt, too. Simmer for ~40 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender. Add more water by the cupful if the soup gets too thick. Add the tomatoes, adjust for seasonings, and serve with a drizzle of vinegar over the top of each bowl. Yum.
Strawberry Pie Recipe
Image by deb roby
I’ve had this recipe in just this form for over 30 years. Through luck, I haven’t permanently misplaced it or lost in during moves.
It makes a great strawberry pie, but can be used as well with peaches, apricots, or any fruit you don’t need to cook to have in a pie.
